[QUOTE="Medic24, post: 480181, member: 1101"] I dare any regulator to come on to my farm and tell me what I can or cannot do with my own beef, as I am not selling it to the general public, it's my business. Right? RIGHT! As far as starting your own prosessing plant, I might add a word here..................We have a close-by slaughter house that I wish I would not be liable for slander if I mentioned the name, that does little local business...............why? bad reputation for return on custom processing.............seems the orders often come back kinda light of the premium cuts on a regular basis, not to mention they ignore requests for certain cuts. I found out the hard way after they asked to purchase one of my cull cows.............I unloaded it, and started dickering for the price, and even after we couldn't agree on a fair price.........as they were trying to get this cow almost free, the guy inside shot the cow anyway while we were still talking over whether I was even going to let them have it....he did a poor job of it , and I had shoot it to put it down. I was so mad, that I made sure i left with my few dollars offered before I decided to say or do something I would regret. They gave me ten pounds of bagged sausage to make up for the 'mistake and confusion'..it got splattered in the parking lot on my way out. Their name got splattered all over the area shortly there after.... along with several other not so satified customers. So......the point of the story? Keep up a good reputation......trust me...............my word spread around over the past few years or so, no doubt has cost them a sizable amount of business. :cboy: [/QUOTE]
